Old man Barend Pieterse on!
Bosman het laas so mooi geskop en nou skop olyf
Puma@137
Ditto!
Just don’t say that in the presence of the UniMilnerton flyhalf from Clifton 🙂
He might just decide it is worth a ‘breaking news posting’!
Owen Ngumane knows less about scrums than I do. And I know fuggal

I don’t care how tall bekker is but around the neck is a penalty.
Haal Schalk af hy raak wilder hy gaan homself nou nou afskryf.
Rugby is not fair, you have 80kg flyhalves that have to tackle 130kg props, so he must tackle below the shoulders just like everyone else.
S.Burger is having the game of his life. That is the way I remember before he hurt the neck. What a magnificent player.
The game is turning into a stamp collection expo – Not very exiting.
O flok, Matewis de Bruin is on…..
153 – Piet..haha. 😉
160: hy speel nie so goed nie, is net sy hare is weer lank, dan lyk dit of hy baie doen as die hare so trek ! 😉
Does anyone here think that all this tackling might affect the stormers later in the season?
153 – Piet, As a Shark supporter I would have S. Burger in my team any day of the week. ALWAYS. He is a brilliant player. Seems to be playing fantastic rugby again. Looks happy out there.
Also think tiny Aplon is superb.
It’s amazing how quickly the defensive lines are set by the stormers, very impressive.
167: hy is ‘n regte klein gifaplontjie !
165 – Onerb, Not so sure, maybe, it affected the Sharks last year.
Stormers are a very good side.
Cheetahs without Mapoe and Brussow will struggle.
Must say Mr Pollak is blowing pretty well.
WP tekkel hulle fktup, ek is bekommerd oor Schalla se nek!
Dewaldt Duvenage’s service has been crisp!
165: hulle sal so klompie van daardie tackles moet begin spaar vir die Slag van 15 Mei.
These guys are all over the park. It must have an adverse effect eventually.
BDB ek dink hulle maak nou genoeg sodat hulle nog kan verloor op die 15de en nogsteeds die semi’s maak. Manne in bul land is harder as die res van die ouens.
Pietman hierdie ouens gaan n insinking he, onthou hulle het nog 3 oefenwedstryde voluit gespeel. Dit is hoekom hulle so goed geoliede masjien is. Samespel is briljant. Maar iewers gaan die lywe nie meer wil nie.
Ctahs moet vir Mapoe vir aan die Bulle verkoop sodat hul iewers ‘n ordentlike losskakel kan koop !
Hoeveel jaar het Pieter Louw nog in hom? Met daai kapsel lyk dit of hy 2 jaar terug moes ophou speel.
Naas not having a good game. Messed up there with the knock on.
Jeepers I like this tiny Aplon. Damn what a great, great player. Very hard to tackle him too. Slips through easy….hehehe. He is superb.
